Inheriting developers list from parent POM.xml

["Artsiukhou, Yauhen" <Ar...@belhard.com>]

Hello. I have a problem: I've defined pom.xml which I'm going to use an custom super-pom file:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

  <groupId>com.company.super_pom</groupId>

  <artifactId>SuperPom</artifactId>

  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

  <packaging>pom</packaging>

  <name>Super Pom</name>

  <url>http://192.168.1.1/projects/SuperPom/</url>

 

  <!-- in current version this declaration isn't working when pom inherited by other project -->

  <developers>

            <developer>

                        <id>Sirex</id>

                        <name>Yauhen, Artsiukhou</name>

                        <email>[email_protected]</email>

                        <organization>MyCompany</organization>

                        <organizationUrl>mycompany.com</organizationUrl>

                        <roles>

                                   <role>some_role</role>

                        </roles>

            </developer>

  </developers>

 

 

  <distributionManagement>

         <repository>

                   <id>my-repository-01</id>

                   <url>ftp://192.168.9.27/</url>

         </repository>

  </distributionManagement>

 

<!-- when I run "mvn deploy" it fails with error: Unsupported protocol: 'ftp' ... bla bla bla, but I've already found this issue in your jira --!>

  <build>

         <extensions>

                   <extension>

                            <groupId>org.apache.maven.wagon</groupId>

                            <artifactId>wagon-ftp</artifactId>

                            <version>1.0-alpha-6</version>

                   </extension>

         </extensions>

 

         <plugins>

                   <plugin>

                            <!-- Using JDK 1.5 instead default 1.4 -->

                            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>

                            <configuration>

                                      <source>1.5</source>

                                      <target>1.5</target>

                            </configuration>

                   </plugin>

         </plugins>

  </build>

 

</project>

 

Next project uses this super pom. Pom-file looks like:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

  <groupId>com.company.project</groupId>

  <artifactId>project_name</artifactId>

  <packaging>jar</packaging>

  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

  <name>project_name</name>

  <url>http://192.168.1.1/projects/project_name</url>

 

  <parent>

         <groupId>com.company.super_pom</groupId>

         <artifactId>SuperPom</artifactId>

         <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

  </parent>

 

  <dependencies>

    <dependency>

      <groupId>junit</groupId>

      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>

      <version>3.8.1</version>

      <scope>test</scope>

    </dependency>

  </dependencies>

<!-- this section completely overrides inherited from super_pom. Expected: merging both two developers: "Sirex" and "other developer" -->

  <developers>

         <developer>

                   <id>other developer</id>

                   <name>other developer</name>

                   <email>[email protected]</email>

                   <organization>company</organization>

                   <organizationUrl>company.com</organizationUrl>

                   <roles>

                            <role>Manager</role>

                            <role>Developer</role>

                            <role>Team Leader</role>

                   </roles>

         </developer>

  </developers>

</project>

 

Problem:

Developers list overrides by child pom file

 

When I type "mvn help:effective-pom" I can see, that all  params from super_pom were inherited successful except "<developers>" section.

If I remove from "com.company.project" project "<developers>" declaration, super_poms' declaration will be inherited.

 

Is it a bug? Or it's my mistake of declaration/configuration pom-files.

 

May be it's your policy to make an ability to re-declaration such sections? So, how can I get merging such sections, if any?
